Hello SymbianAnna,
As far as I know, such mod has never existed for Symbian. However, there was a boost mod for Maemo (by Jacekowski). Are you sure you had N8 and not N900 by any chance?
I was trying to find how FM-Tx power works on Symbian, but unfortunately, I couldn't. I need some manufacturer information here, which, I think, I will never know these days. And this piece of information is:
- whether there are country-specific power restrictions for FM-Tx on a hardware level (that could explain why your previous N8 was better), patch is useless here because of hardware limitation.
- exact numbers of power in Watts for FM-Tx`es, which are used in Symbian phones. As you may guess, they are different from Maemo.
And by the way, you can plug a charger to N8 while using FM-Tx, it will serve as a sort of transmitting antenna, what will improve your signal. But don't connect the charger to the socket, just plug it only in the phone.
You can play around with the Unlock VHF-band patch, you can get it here:

Or if it is too complicated for you, send me an email and I will attach it there.
